INGREDIENTS
- 4-6 poblano peppers
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
EGG MIXTURE
- 4 whole large eggs
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- The first step is to roast the peppers. Preheat oven to 425º F.
- Drizzle olive oil over poblano peppers and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 25 minutes until the peppers start to char and blister.
- Remove from the oven and put them in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap for about 15 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut off the stem, remove the seeds and peel off the skin.
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Spray a 9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Arrange a single layer roasted peppers in the bottom of a baking dish. Top with half of the cheese, and then repeat with the rest of the peppers and cheese.
- In a bowl whisk together everything for the egg mixture. Pour evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until the eggs are puffed up, the edges are golden and the center is completely set.
- Remove from oven and let set for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
NOTES
For a Shortcut – Replace the peppers with 3 cans of Roasted WHOLE Green Chilies.
The number of peppers you need depends on the size. You want enough to make 2 single layers in your baking dish.
